APEC Water Systems ROCT-C1 Countertop UV Reverse Osmosis System with Chilled Water
Pour-fill countertop RO with a compressor chiller and a UV stage, and no listing behind either.
$499
Usability
The ROCT-C1 is the only APEC system that needs neither plumbing nor a tap, since it fills from a removable pitcher and dispenses through a touch panel with a TDS readout. Its strongest attribute is the compressor chiller, which holds 27 ounces at 40 degrees and is a genuine appliance feature rather than an insulated reservoir. Its weakest is that at 499 dollars it is the most expensive point-of-use system APEC sells and carries no certification at all, while the 230 dollar ROES-50 carries a WQA listing. The ultraviolet stage has no NSF/ANSI 55 listing either, so its dose is unverified. The buyer is paying appliance money for convenience in an office, a rental or an RV, and the three-to-one pure-to-drain ratio is better than the tank systems even if the pitcher has to be refilled by hand.
- Compressor chiller holds 27 ounces at 40 degrees Fahrenheit
- No plumbing, no tap connection and no drain line needed
- Three-to-one pure-to-drain ratio, better than the under-sink tank systems
- Touch panel with TDS readout and filter change warning
- Published dimensions, which APEC omits for most of the range
- No certification of any kind, at more than double the price of the certified ROES-50
- Ultraviolet stage carries no NSF/ANSI 55 listing, so the dose is unverified
- Source and waste water are both handled by hand from removable containers
- 75 GPD rating is academic when the reservoir is pitcher-fed
- Warranty is one year unless registered within eight weeks
The APEC Water Systems ROCT-C1 is a freestanding countertop reverse osmosis system rated at 75 gallons per day with a refrigerator-style compressor holding a 27 ounce reservoir at 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Water is poured into a removable pitcher rather than plumbed in, and a three-in-one cartridge is followed by an ultraviolet stage before dispensing. It measures 18.11 by 8.27 by 15.75 inches and holds no third-party certification.
